Lyrics and translation Chubby Checker - Hey, Bobba Needle

Hey, Bobba Needle

This is a sad story about a girl named Mary Mac
And her wondering lover Bob Needle
Softly I can hear her callin'
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bob, hey, Bob
Mary Mac, Mac, Mac
All dressed in black, black, black
Don't cha know I'm tryin', tryin', tryin'
Just to come on back, back, back
'Cause I took a plane, plane, plane
But there was some rain, rain, rain
And there was no flyin', flyin', flyin'
So I took a train, train, train
Oh, Mary Mac, Mac, Mac
It went off the track, track, track
Can't you see I'm dyin', dyin', dyin'
Just to come on back, back, back
Oh, softly I can hear you callin'
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bob, hey, Bob
Well, I took a boat, boat, boat
But it wouldn't float, float, float
So I kept on a puffin', puffin', puffin'
That was all she wrote, wrote, wrote
So I must wear my cross, cross, cross
And I bought a horse, horse, horse
But it just keeps runnin', runnin', runnin'
All around the track, track, track
Baby, I ain't lyin', lyin', lyin'
Can't you see that I'm tryin', tryin', tryin'
Don't cha know I'm tryin', tryin', tryin'
Just to come on back to Mary Mac
Oh, softly I can hear her holler
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hey, Bob, hey, Bob

Hé, Aiguille de Bobba

C'est une histoire triste à propos d'une fille nommée Mary Mac
Et son amant qui se demande, Bob Needle
Je peux doucement l'entendre appeler
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bob, hé, Bob
Mary Mac, Mac, Mac
Toute habillée en noir, noir, noir
Tu ne sais pas que j'essaie, j'essaie, j'essaie
De revenir, de revenir, de revenir
Parce que j'ai pris un avion, un avion, un avion
Mais il pleuvait, il pleuvait, il pleuvait
Et on ne pouvait pas voler, voler, voler
Alors j'ai pris un train, un train, un train
Oh, Mary Mac, Mac, Mac
Il a déraillé, il a déraillé, il a déraillé
Tu ne vois pas que je meurs, je meurs, je meurs
De revenir, de revenir, de revenir
Oh, je peux doucement t'entendre appeler
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bob, hé, Bob
Eh bien, j'ai pris un bateau, un bateau, un bateau
Mais il ne flottait pas, il ne flottait pas, il ne flottait pas
Alors j'ai continué à souffler, à souffler, à souffler
C'était tout ce qu'il y avait à faire, à faire, à faire
Alors je dois porter ma croix, ma croix, ma croix
Et j'ai acheté un cheval, un cheval, un cheval
Mais il ne fait que courir, courir, courir
Tout autour de la piste, de la piste, de la piste
Bébé, je ne mens pas, je ne mens pas, je ne mens pas
Tu ne vois pas que j'essaie, j'essaie, j'essaie
Tu ne sais pas que j'essaie, j'essaie, j'essaie
De revenir à Mary Mac
Oh, je peux doucement t'entendre crier
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
Hé, Bob, hé, Bob
